In my dream I saw you there
I walked with you by my side
We held hands and talked so joyfully
Each step together in stride
When I woke up I knew you were gone
I got up to start my day
I saw your shadow in the shower
But then you faded away
Got dressed, did my hair, looked in the mirror
To put my makeup on
The man on the radio said someone's in love
And they dedicated our song
I stood in a stare not able to move
Then looked in the mirror to see
You were behind me just like before
you were still holding me
I closed my eyes to basque in our love
Perfection at its very peak
I whispered "I love you my handsome prince"
But my lover, he did not speak
I opened my eyes to find you gone
And I shook my self awake
I have to stop seeing my memory of you
My life is what is at stake.
So I make up my coffee and sit at my desk
I wait for the noise to start
The children are up so here we go
Thoughts of you depart
The day goes by and before you know it
They want me to do storytime
With a goodnight kiss and a book of riddles
Eyes get heavier with each rhyme.
But now the silence surrounds me
Everyone's tucked into bed
I close my eyes as tight as I can
But you are still in my head
It's been a day since thoughts of you
came across my mind
I thought today I'd make it through
In leaving you behind
I don't know why I do this to myself
I wish I could just forget
I wish I could find a reason to hate you
But I still haven't yet
Damn this heart and the love that it holds
For you are all that it sees
And damn you for leaving me here on my own
To live in Haunted Memories.

memories of lost love always fuel the muse... A very enjoyable yet sad read. Very well done.

I like this poem even though it's about love. I'm not one for love poems, but this was good. Very nice.
Best of luck in the contest.

wow! this piece was so moving, i was pretty much on the brink of tears, i could feel the pain you were describing!

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I have been trying to break out of the sadness phase of writing but then I penned this and it all came back. I guess its my way of release. I am so glad you liked it. Thank you so much for commenting..

So sad...that’s truly all I can think of to say. I love how you wrote about the usual daily routine, broken up by thoughts of your lost love. That style makes it easier to relate too, and shows just how much those memories have consumed you. A very moving poem, I’m so glad you entered so I could read this. Poems like these leave me with an empty space in my heart, long after they’re over.

wow...i guess i shoulda known better when i read the title... ain't love just so grand....uggggh.... nicely written poem...the sense of love and loss seem oh so real... i think we all may have felt like this at one time or another...sheesh i know i have and though i eventually managed to move on there are still some times that a song or a sight sends me back to haunted memories of my own....they say time heals all wounds...i say they are all full of crap... you never do forget the ones you truly love...but take it from me it does get a little easier as time goes by...again great write

I did lose someone, not in death, but may as well have been with the way it happened. and yes, i was thinking about that today....that i put all my heart in my poems and its weird that im so willing to share them publicly cus normally im a very private person! i guess this is just how i deal with things......its good to know i make people feel as well like they are not alone

Lost love, but hatred too, wanting to hate someone but can't, i think everyone feels that at some time or another.
-
Wow, this is very beautifully written. Packed with such emotion it just tears my heart.
-
I know how you feel. It also makes me sad when other people relate to what Ive gone through but at the same time, it helps me know Im not alone and Im certainly not crazy . Thank you so much for your comment
-
This one made me cry. Honestly, the keyboard is wet. I have tried to write something similar to this but it has never worked. I feel the pain all too well my dear. It makes me want to cry even more knowing that someone else can feel this way. It touched me in a place that has not been touched by anything but anger and hearach. I loved it. Keep up the wonderful work.
